Do you play tabletop Magic at your local game store (LGS)? Perhaps you prefer the convenience of Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) or Magic: The Gathering Arena on your computer. Or maybe you like playing on your phone or tablet with the Android version. Let me know how you play and what your preferred platform is!
I used to play MTGO on Linux through Wine, but it stopped working. Trying it in a VM was too laggy. So I finally bought a cheap Windows machine primarily to run MTGA and MTGO smoothly. Personally, the convenience of digital clients has won me over, but I have fond memories of Friday Night Magic at my LGS, specially a $1 entry format we played with crappy decks and store credit prizes because I liked the nostalgia of it being similar to when I started playing instead of the competitiveness of the typical standard format, where it seems like all the decks are similar netdeck copies.
I play Arena every day, and in-person with two friends on the weekend. I’m getting back in after leaving the game a long time ago. Life got in the way, mostly drinking and cavorting, but now I’m back. Arena has really helped to learn all the different aspects of MTG today. It’s improved my in person play considerably. The idea of drafting is intimidating. There is a lot of pressure to make a decision, and I don’t have enough experience or knowledge to get a deck with a chance to won at least once. Someday though, I’ll be at the LGS to draft.
